Promoting Local Culture:

Monte Aventura. The best example ecotourism is engaged with local culture. We do our best to promote local culture, as we think this kind of culture is the perfect balance between production and protection. How do we do it? Like this:

Each year, the last September weekend, we organize a funny Sling-shot competition. Sling-shot was the main tool of the local shepherds and we don’t want it to be forgotten. So we’ve been organizing it for more than 15 years, in Istán, a typical white village! Each year shepherds from all towns of the county gather together and try to win the contest prize (local products like cheese, ham, wine,…). Everybody can participate!

Our ecotours are thought to show tourists the real Spain and, as we’re locals, we know the people of the small typical towns, like Istán. They are really friendly and usually the want to show us their crops, their handcrafts (that can be bough),….

In all our tours we always have lunch in local spanish restaurants, because we think that like this we promote local economy and local and healthy food.

Ojén Ecological Reserve:

Check out our new project in Ojén, just few minutes from Marbella-Costa del Sol, where we’re trying to turn a hunting reserve into a ecological reserve, where to show the tourists and the locals our wonderful wildlife!
